Georgia Check Foreign and Commonwealth Office Travel Advice before travelling.       British citizens require entry visas, which are available on arrival at Tbilisi Airport at a cost of $80. However we advise getting them before travelling.       Leave details of your plans, your passport and your credit cards with friends or relatives at home. Remember to carry emergency telephone numbers for credit cards and insurance.       Keep your belongings in a safe place.       Carry a copy of the data page of your passport with you, separate from your actual passport, in case it becomes necessary to replace a stolen/lost passport.       Enter your next of kin details in the back of your passport.       Insurance. Make sure you are adequately covered by both medical and travel insurance. Check that your medical insurance covers medical evacuation. Insure against unexpected loss (e.g. missed flight, lost passport, stolen or lost credit cards and cash). Robberies and pickpocketing do occur in Georgia and violent crime is increasing.       Funds. Ensure that you have enough funds for the duration of your stay and return flight. Carry small denominations of US Dollars. Exchange foreign currency at Government licensed booths. These can be found in or near major stores or supermarkets and shopping centres, hotels and banks. Secure most of your money in a money belt, and carry the rest in small notes in a dummy wallet. Consider putting an old, expired, unusable credit card in the wallet.       Overstaying. Do not overstay beyond the limit of your visa. The Georgian authorities consider overstaying a serious matter and you may be held in detention, fined and deported, or removed at your own expense. If staying in Georgia for more than three days, register with the British Embassy and OVIR, the Registration Office at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia.       Do not carry drugs – penalties can be severe.       The squash ball. It is not uncommon, especially in Eastern European hotels or guesthouses not to be provided with plugs bathrooms. Consider taking a squash ball. It will fit many sizes of sink or bath and is easily squashed into place.
